Almost; adverb

It didn't happen, but it nearly did

It's the saddest word yet 

That I heard, and experienced.

I almost stayed and waited

He almost told me

I almost went to him

He almost came back

I almost told him 

He almost did, I almost did.

What truly happened was that

I left, I lost patience, and I got tired

And that's when we told each other

He didn't come back when he wanted to

And I took it as a sign but I said it's the last straw

He threw it away and for the sake of cruel love

So here I am; writing Almost, God's flaw.
